Tunes Tuesday: Pump Up Rock Music

Are you ready to rock? It’s time for Tunes Tuesday hosted by Kimberly at Kooky Runner, Steffany at Run Steff Run and me! The theme this week is pump-up music, and I’m going to switch things up and share some jams to rock out to!

Tunes Tuesday: Pump Up Rock Music

If you’re surprised that I even like rock music, I don’t blame you for that reasoning, but I’m a student of all different genres of music! In light of the recent passing of rock ‘n roll legend Chuck Berry, I thought it was time to show some rock appreciation on a Tunes Tuesday post!

How was I exposed to rock music? The radio, TRL in the early 2000’s, playing Guitar Hero and Rock Band on the Wii/XBox, and playing various rock classics in my college pep band. Rock is such a broad genre and covers so many different styles. There’s the laidback stuff, the really intense angry stuff, meaningful lyrics, and straight-up stoned nonsense. I tried to show some variety in my pump up playlist, but it’s really scratching the surface! One thing I know for sure is that rock music has a special way of really getting you hyped up!

Just hit shuffle and enjoy some more of my Tunes Tuesday Pump Up Music, this week featuring rock!

Chuck Berry – Johnny B. Goode: Yes, this song always makes me think of Back to the Future, one of my all-time favorite movies! I had to give props to the originator of rock!

Linkin Park – Faint: This song always pumps me up! This is probably the only rock concert I’d want to go to and hopefully come back in one piece, haha!

Papa Roach – Last Resort: Thank TRL for me knowing the words to this song, haha!

Queen – We Will Rock You: An absolute classic still played at every sports event to get the crowd hype!
